Subterranean termites need soil contact and moisture to thrive, and Bridport's conditions — a genuinely severe mountain winter climate, with some of the heaviest snowfall totals in New England — create exactly that. Wood-frame mountain homes and cabins built for extreme snow loads, most with basements, on forested or high-meadow lots. Termite colonies can go undetected for years, quietly compromising structural wood the entire time.
Termite treatment starts with identifying exactly where the colony is accessing the structure, since a targeted approach is far more effective than a blanket treatment. Depending on the property, we recommend either a liquid soil treatment creating a barrier around the foundation, or a bait-station monitoring system that's checked on a schedule.
